Abstract
Briefly, a method and apparatus for recognizing movement of one or more touches across a location on a keyboard grid on a touch panel interface is disclosed. The method may receiving user input with a touch panel interface, recognizing movement of one or more touches across a location on a keyboard grid on the touch panel interface, and performing an action associated with the movement of one or more touches across the location on the keyboard grid on the touch panel interface.
Claims32
A method comprising:
- receiving user input with a touch panel interface;
- recognizing movement of one or more touches across a location on a keyboard grid on the touch panel interface;
- and
- performing an action associated with the movement of one or more touches across the location on the keyboard grid on the touch panel interface.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a touch subsystem including a touch panel for receiving user input in the form of movement of one or more touches across a location on a keyboard grid on the touch panel interface;
- and
- a processing unit to recognize the movement of one or more touches across a location on a keyboard grid on the touch panel interface in the user input and perform an action associated with the movement of one or more touches across a location on a keyboard grid on the touch panel interface.
A non-volatile computer readable medium encoded with computer executable instructions, which when accessed, cause a machine to perform operations comprising:
- receiving user input with a touch panel interface;
- recognizing movement of one or more touches across a location on a keyboard grid on the touch panel interface;
- and
- performing an action associated with the movement of one or more touches across the location on the keyboard grid on the touch panel interface.
A handheld device, comprising:
- a screen;
- a touch subsystem including a touch panel incorporated into said screen for receiving user input in the form of movement of one or more touches across a location on a keyboard grid on the touch panel interface;
- and
- a processing unit to recognize the movement of one or more touches across a location on a keyboard grid on the touch panel interface and perform an action associated with the movement of one or more touches across a location on a keyboard grid on the touch panel interface.
